Rain Puddles Design

It's the BIG hop day to finish off our week of inspiration with Stampendous and Glue Dots®. I'm thankful to them for providing me with three different dispensers of Glue Dots for use in the hop. I even ventured to my local craft supply store to get my hands on a couple more styles for my project today! There are prizes up for grabs! Three commenters win the prize package shown above in the picture. Three awesome Glue Dots® dispensers, Stampendous Create Christmas Stamps Set and matching dies PLUS the Christmas Micro Glitter Set (OH why didn't I think to use that kit for my project today!) Details and deadlines for the prizes can be found on the Stampendous blog  today. Here's my project all stuck together with DOTS! There are embellishment DOTS scattered around the monoprint paper and... I made DOTS into a glittery flower! Check out how I pulled this card together...

Head on over to the Stampendous blog for details on how to win one of three prize packages! Here is the hop list for today in case you are just getting started here! Stampendous Stamps Blog Janelle Stollfus Laura Drahozal Alison Heikkila Glue Dots Blog Today I really wanted to show a fun example of how to use both sides of the coin, the glue dot that is, when you want something to really stick, but be flexible as needs be fit. This is a card and it may lay flat in an envelope to be mailed, but set it up and fluff out the boughs to have a dimensional tree that won't fall apart! That's if from me for today unless you want to know just how I assembled this card, then keep on reading. Supplies: Stampendous: CRS5080 Cling Create Christmas Stamp Set M326 Christmas Love Sta...

I hope you've had a fun week with us and have tons of inspiration for your weekend of crafting! You have probably hopped here from Louise Healy's blog and that puts you in the right spot! Thank you to Buttons Galore for sending such great embellishments and letting me revive my love for these round dimensional craft morsels!

Welcome to my little world of craft puddles! I'm so glad you are joining us here on the hop with Buttons Galore and More , because you can't go wrong with a these embellishments!  I had a lot of fun creating my project for today using an assortment of buttons that I picked up at my local Craft Warehouse. Why? Because I actually lost the fabulous assortment I received from the folks at Buttons Galore and More! I'm doing an overhaul of my art studio and those little buttons are somewhere lost in the mess. :) I was so happy to remember that I bought a box of their Haberdashery buttons locally and I called my store to see if they still carried them. BOY, did they and there were so many to choose options. In the end I bought to awesome collections ( Scary and Citrus ). Before we move on to how I made my card today I wanted to make sure you knew that our hop is all week long and that there are prizes ! You can see all the details every day this week over...

Happy {haunted} Monday!  Oh boy, are you in for a surprise. I worked up a great little "bendy card" for two very fun reasons. This week at Stampendous is a fun little theme, "You GOT it? FLAUNT it!!" Sooooo, I thought I better get a little spooky and haunt my blog today. The second reason is also a fun challenge that Stampendous is also a participant in and the design team took the challenge to create a NEW project every day and link it up to the Stampendous blog. Smeared Ink Blog So with my best creepy and spooky self, I created a haunted forest. And a creeky and spooky house. With a cursed black cat crossing the road. Windy road to a haunt on a hill. A haunted house on a hill with a petty graveyard for a view, just to say "Have a Spooktacular Halloween" Click on any photo to enlarge it, and my camera was on a tripod so I only angled my shots in one direction when taking the close up, so I'm s...

It's a favorite in our family during fall. Pumpkin Pie! It's been a few years, back when we started making trips to the pumpkin patch in preschool that I was handed a recipe for scratch pumpkin pie. If you bought a pie pumpkin you received their family recipe. There is a bounty stock of puree in our freezer that is used for our Thanksgiving pumpkin pie! It is the best ever! Yum-O! Now that I've got our minds and taste buds wandering around our memories of past pies, I'm going to switch it up and move to the theme this week for the Stampendous team. Pumpkins!!!!!! Bet that wasn't a surprise being my intro and it's the last day of the theme week. Haha. I'm sharing this Eek A Boo card I made a few weeks back for the All In One theme. It's a pumpkin for Halloween sort and these characters were so fun to color.
